Real-time pose estimation of Tool Center Point (TCP) of industrial robots is very important in industrial robotic applications. The TCP pose information is used in many industrial robotic tasks such as calibration and control tasks for on-line TCP pose corrections and improvement of the TCP pose accuracy and repeatability. Nowadays, in industry and robotic research laboratories, laser trackers, optical CMMs, stereo vision and photogrammetry techniques are applied for TCP pose estimation purposes; however, each of these has their own problems that affect their pose estimation performance and efficiency in industrial robots. This study presents a novel model-based pose estimation method based on computer vision and augmented reality markers. The proposed system is able to estimate the pose of the Tool Center Point (TCP) of the industrial robotic manipulators in point-topoint applications. An innovative Rhombicuboctahedron ArUco Mapper (RAM) is designed for pose estimation of the TCP. The performance analysis of the proposed system proved its repeatability and accuracy. The absolute positional measurement accuracy of the proposed system in the robot base frame is in the range of 0.12- 0.48mm and for orientational measurements in the robot base frame are in the rangevi of 0.003-0.012o. The pose measurement accuracy and repeatability in the camera base frame show better results ±50μm-500μm for the positional accuracy and ±0.009o- 0.05o for the orientational accuracy. The proposed method is considered as a costeffective, high accuracy and repeatable TCP pose estimator for industrial robotic applications.

Design of energy efficient hopper by using parallel elasticity and wrapping cam mechanisms Candan, Sinan Şahin; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) Improving energy efficiency and control accuracy in legged robot design are important due to demand for complex tasks and prolonged operation time. Solving such a problem can be tackled by the determination of mathematical models, selecting appropriate controllers, integrating actuators and mechanical leg design. Model and control method is selected as Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) with constant forcing and virtual tunable damping. Parallel elastic and series elastic architectures are considered fo...
Locomotion Gait Optimization For Modular Robots; Coevolving Morphology and Control Pouya, Soha; Aydın Göl, Ebru; Moeckel, Rico; Ijspeert, Auke Jan (2011-01-01) This study aims at providing a control-learning framework capable of generating optimal locomotion patterns for the modular robots. The key ideas are firstly to provide a generic control structure that can be well-adapted for the different morphologies and secondly to exploit and coevolve both morphology and control aspects. A generic framework combining robot morphology, control and environment and on the top of them optimization and evolutionary algorithms are presented. The details of the components and ...
Analysis of wave gaits for energy efficiency Erden, Mustafa Suphi; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2007-10-01) In this paper an energy efficiency analysis of wave gaits is performed for a six-legged walking robot. A simulation model of the robot is used to obtain the data demonstrating the energy consumption while walking in different modes and with varying parameters. Based on the analysis of this data some strategies are derived in order to minimize the search effort for determining the parameters of the gaits for an energy efficient walk. Then, similar data is obtained from an actual experimental setup, in which ...

Optimal control of a half circular compliant legged monopod Özkan Aydın, Yasemin; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Legged robots have complex architecture because of their nonlinear dynamics and unpredictable ground contact characteristics. They can be also dynamically stable and exhibit dynamically dexterous behaviors like running, jumping, flipping which require complex plant models that may sometimes be difficult to build. In this thesis, we focused on half circular compliant legged monopod that can be considered as a reduced-order dynamical model for the hexapod robot, called RHex. The main objective of this thesis ...
